Okay, I was just in my shop, cleaning up (I let it get a little messy over the last month or so). One of my challenges is where to store all (about 6 or so) chunks of wood that I have. Some of you may have seen my posts about the chunks I've accuired recently. So, I got one step further towards finding a storage place for them today. I made a multi-radius circle cutting jig for my band saw about an hour ago and it works great. Now all I have to do is cut up these chunks into managable pieces, rough cut them into circles, and seal them. That way, when I'm ready to turn them, I don't have to go digging them out one by one. Not to mention...I DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR THEIR ODD SHAPPED CHUNKINESS!!!!!!
So, anyone in the Frederick/Hagerstown, MD area (or further away if you don't mind driving...) want to come by and cut these up with me? It would be a great learning experience for me, but I'll also take you to lunch at the local diner or a pub type place. You can even have some of what we cut up. I'm sure I'll get more in the future, so I doubt I'd get stingy with it.
One Creeker came by a month or so ago and we chatted up some of the weeping cherry. Cut a piece off and I insisted he take it home. Joe, I'd love to have you back out. This is certainly open to you again.
Please, let me learn from your experiences. You CAN'T mess up...I wouldn't know the difference. :D
